Happy Wednesday dolls! I am currently driving back from Miami so I'll be a bit slow to respond again today (if I'm able to respond at all) but I really do appreciate the comments and love while I was gone! It can be tough not being as connected to the digital and social media world as I'm used to being but it's been fun getting these amazing experiences through my work. It has definitely made for some extremely long days the past few days so I am ready to be home again!

Anyway, let's talk about this off the shoulder LBD number! As you can tell I'm still obsessed with anything off the shoulder, I am totally ready to stock up on some sweaters and long sleeved things that are off the shoulder so I can continue this trend into fall but this dress is perfect for the weather right now!

Happy Humpday! Am I the only person who is ready for summer to be over and fall to be here? Fall used to be my favorite season when I lived in the midwest and it definitely happens to be one of the things I miss the most about living in Florida. We really don't get much of a "fall" here, we certainly don't get the pretty color change of the leaves or the cool, brisk days but we do get a bit lower humidity and some slightly cooler temperatures so I make my own fall any way I can. One of my favorite ways to bring a little fall into my life is to mix fall and summer styles.

I'm still loving the off the shoulder trend (and I don't think I'll be stopping that any time soon!) so when I saw this floral print off the shoulder top on Le Tote I definitely had to scoop it up. I love that the colors are richer instead of pastels and the long sleeves make it more "fall" appropriate even though the top is still light enough to wear in the Florida heat. Unfortunately we haven't quite gotten out of the high humidity phase here so excuse my crazy hair. Even though I've lived here for almost 20 years now (yikes!) I still can't get used to the fact it can not only rain at any moment and then be sunny 30 seconds later, it can also rain WHILE it's sunny out.

Happy Wednesday and last day of August! I'm not going to lie, I've been trying REALLY hard lately to make fall happen here. I know we still have a few more weeks of summer (well for us Floridians, it's more like a few more months) but my little taste of cooler weather while I was in Wisconsin has me ready to break out the booties and flannel. With the few storm systems we have out in both the Gulf and the Atlantic right now we've had a breezy past few days so I decided to take advantage of the ever so slightly cooler temps. 

This top was one I received in one of my Le Tote (save 20% when you sign up with the code SEQUINS20, code ends today!) boxes and the second I put it on I knew I'd be keeping it. It looks flannel but the material is actually pretty lightweight and I love the zippered shoulder detail. It's the perfect top for the transition from summer to fall and you can't beat the price on it. I wore this outfit during out Fantasy Football draft on Saturday and it was nice and comfy without being too hot. This will definitely be a shirt on massive repeat this fall and I'm not sad about it! And I'm not sorry my Starbucks made a complete appearance in this post either. I haven't had the Starbucks Teavana green tea in forever but when I got it over the weekend I refused to put it down until it was gone. I'm already craving it again today. It's probably a good thing that there isn't a Starbucks within 5 miles of my office or I'd probably be there right now!

Happy humpday lovelies! Or also known as my Friday :) I haven't had a day off since 4th of July and I haven't taken a day off since Memorial Day so I'm definitely due for a nice long weekend. I'm super excited because I'm headed up north so my fingers are crossed for some cooler weather... which shouldn't be hard to do considering it's still well in the 90's down here. Speaking of warmer temperatures, this romper is so perfect for hot summer day, or in my case, a rainy summer day.

If you saw my post last week on Le Tote you probably got a sneak peek of this romper in my box! I really wasn't sure how I'd like it from the pictures on Le Tote but I actually ended up loving it and probably would have kept it had it not had a tiny hole in the pocket. Minor but when you're spending $100 on something you want it to be perfect. The romper was a stretchy soft cotton material and I wasn't initially sure about the print even though I love the navy and pink together, but it's actually really fun and flattering on. I wore this outfit out to the movie with Ker to see Suicide Squad and it ended up POURING on us in the middle of these pictures so when I got to the movies I was really happy to have my jean jacket with me. I kept the entire look pretty casual since it was a gloomy day and we were just sitting in a movie theater but the romper was super comfy and was probably the closest thing to pajamas I could be wearing!

Happy Wednesday friends! Tell me I'm not the only one who stands in her closet full of clothes and thinks "I have absolutely nothing to wear"? This is such a common occurrence for me it's almost scary. Even though I know I have plenty to choose from, sometimes I just don't want to wear anything I already own and too often I buy something, wear it a few times and then wonder why I even bothered to buy it. So when Le Tote contacted me about trying them out I definitely jumped at the opportunity!

If you haven't heard of Le Tote, they consider themselves the "Netflix of fashion" which is fitting considering their business model. Le Tote is a monthly subscription box that allows it's members to "borrow" designer clothing and accessories for $59/month. Each box includes three articles of clothing and two accessory pieces from a variety of 150 different brands. One of the first things I loved about Le Tote is you set up your profile and then you can either let the stylist pick out things for you or you can customize each box with pieces you select.

Ok, now let's talk about my experience thus far.After signing up and selecting my style profile I was given 48 hours to either accept the pieces they had picked out for me or "shop" for other pieces to replace anything. You can choose to replace one item or all five if you wish and once you've made your selection you can change your mind again within that 48 hours or select "finalize my box" and it will be on it's way! One of the things I was most impressed with about Le Tote was the shipping. From the time I "finalized my box" to the time it was waiting for me on my front porch was only two days, making it perfect for ensuring you have something to wear over the weekend.
I kept my things for about a week but there is no real time limit on how long you can keep things so if you like something but aren't sure right away if you want to buy it you have the opportunity to wear it a few times before sending it back. While I was trying out my box Le Tote sent me an e-mail letting me know one of the items in my box was on sale and to be completely honest, that was the deciding factor on whether I wanted to keep one of the dresses in my first box. The dress fit me perfectly and I loved the print and colors but when I heard I could keep my Sam Edelman dress for only $29, I knew it wasn't going to be returned!


When it was time to send back the remaining items I didn't want to keep, you simply put everything into the pre-labeled bag and put it back in the mail. I was extremely surprised when later that day I got a text from a number I didn't recognize only to find out it was Le Tote texting me to let me know my box was in route back and my next box was preparing to ship out. If I wanted to switch any of the items in my box I had 48 hours to do so so I jumped online and ended swapping out everything they were planning on sending to me and hit "finalize my tote". My new tote was in the mail the next day and at my door 2 days later!

Have you tried out Le Tote? They're offering my readers 20% off with the code: SEQUINS20 so check it out for yourself and let me know what you think! And stay tuned for my outfit posts from my Le Tote box!

Can I get a "hooray for Humpday"?!? Please tell me I'm not the only one still completely baffled that it's already August. I keep writing "7/" on everything thinking it's still July. It definitely doesn't feel any closer to fall, temperature-wise here, so this romper is perfect for being out and about on these hot and humid days. Lately I feel like I've been in a fashion rut, wearing similar outfits almost every weekend not really mixing it up so when Le Tote reached out to me about trying them out I jumped at the opportunity. 

 Be prepared for a full review of my Le Tote experience coming up, I wanted to get the box, try everything out and mail my box back before writing a review but if you want to give Le Tote a try in the meantime, they're offering 20% off to my readers using code SEQUINS20 at checkout! Ok, now back to the important part, the outfit! The floral watercolor print is so fun and I love the layered flounce top. The chiffon material makes it perfect to dress up or down and also makes it nice and lightweight on a hot day. For this look I paired it with my favorite comfy wedges but I wore it out later that evening with a pair of sandals and a jean jacket for a more casual look.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
